When we calculate your eligibility for need-based financial aid, we use the same estimated expenses for living costs whether you are living on campus or off campus, as long as you are not living with your parents. If you are receiving financial aid in excess of your tuition charges, a check will be mailed to your local address for the excess financial aid.

Please note - If you have been awarded scholarships from Miami University for your Miami room and board charges and choose to live off campus, you will not receive the portion of your scholarship which would have paid your Miami room costs. In addition, if you do not purchase a University meal plan, you will not receive the portion of your scholarship which would have paid your Miami board costs.
